For a long time, we have not seen much of Cylon’s social modality. What we can see is that they believe in a true god, "One God". It is known that they are composed of 2 classes, 7 types of human Cylon and primitive machine form Cylong, 7 Each type of Cylon is represented by one, which constitutes the decision-making layer. However, the development of the drama has become more and more interesting, and the unity of the machine society has actually awakened personal consciousness.
Starting from the anti-procedural behavior of a Cylon attack machine, the leadership of Cylon had a debate about whether to repair these brain attack machines and turn them into machines that obey instructions, or let the personalities of these machines remain. However, they are voting At the time, an unexpected incident occurred. One model had two opinions. In this case, "never a model voted against his own opinion", and in the end, No. 6 commanded two thoughtful and angry people. The machine Cylon carried out a small coup. Seeing this, it can be said that Cylon society is about to have a revolution. Whether it is from the system or personal thoughts, the future development of this society is absolutely brilliant.
Reminiscent of No. 1 Frozen No. 3 at that time, because No. 3 is constantly pursuing the ultimate experience of life, and think of No. 6 at Caprica persuading Bouma to be consistent with everyone and not really independent of the whole. It can be seen that the Cylon society at that time was still a collectivist society. In more contact with people, Cylon was also imperceptibly influenced by people. Every Cylon person, from attack aircraft to humanoid leadership, began to develop his own personality. Individuality independent of collective cognition.
The awakening of individual consciousness is usually considered a sign of modernity. In the Middle Ages, the will of God was used to explain human behavior. Self-awareness is usually combined with religious worship, putting oneself under the shadow of God and being a servant of God. Under such a background, it is difficult to produce a true self, because all actions must conform to God's will. The Renaissance in the West started from thinking about human nature and then explained divinity. It was discovered that religion suppressed human nature. At this time, human nature is more of a human nature in a broad sense, individual freedom, or subordination to the collective. , Society, party and other organizations.
In the further social development, the more significant is the personal discovery. In the past, individuals existed for gods and kings, but now they finally exist for themselves. I still remember that Bouma and No. 6 were resurrected on Caprica. They wanted to change the Cylon society together. At that time, two people were facing the entire Cylon. Now, even an attacker can recognize the enemy and the enemy, and a Cylon robot will feel Anger, a humanoid Cylon type has two kinds of consciousness. An independent "individual" consciousness rises above the group, and the individual has priority over the group. It has gone from collectivism to individualism. It can be said that this is Cylon's most gratifying progress. Maybe they There will be fear and confusion, but the evolution they pursue is not just the evolutionary significance of biology, here they have reaped the biggest leap in sociology.
After this leap, what is it? It should be freedom. The development of individuality is the beginning of liberalism.
let us wait and see!
There is also a very interesting change in human society, we have the opportunity to talk about it
